Surprisingly good, but I made an unintended modification (perhaps subconsciously), using 1/2 oz of simple syrup rather than the called for 1/4. I had feared that Salers known drying effect would be too much with the 3/4 ounce of lemon, since the Dimmi is balanced between sweet and bitter. The inadvertent use of 1/2 oz simple syrup resulted in a very balanced drink, with the floral (apricot and citrus blossom) of the Dimmi, some gentiane/wormwood bitterness. The flavor/aroma are reminiscent of Aveze in some ways.

2 1⁄2 oz Pineapple rum, Plantation Stiggins' Fancy
2 oz Amaro Sibilla
1 oz Cynar 70
1 1⁄2 oz Pineapple syrup

1 oz Lime juice (reserved)
2 rinse Bitters, Angostura (as rinse)
Instructions

Set up a pourover (like a V60). On a fine grind setting, grind 15 grams of relatively neutral coffee and place in the filter. Combine the first four ingredients in a small pitcher. Add 1.5 oz water to wet the grounds. Slowly pour the cocktail through the coffee into the carafe below. Transfer to a jar and refrigerate.
